If a Compressor and a Transient Shaper gave birth
Krossbow looks like a Compressor but is totally different, it doesn’t feature a Threshold or Ratio setting. It dynamically ducks the gain towards the desired ‘Maximum Reduction’ based on the incoming signal. Once the yellow ‘Reduction’ needle reaches the orange ‘MAX Reduction’ needle, no further reduction occurs, leaving the rest of your dynamics untouched.
A new kind of Dynamics Processor, using a new special technique. Sculpt and Enhance the Attack, Punch and Impact of your Audio without leaving unwanted artifacts, flattened dynamics and distortion behind. Emphasize the Impactful parts of your Audio while leaving the Natural dynamics intact.
Compressors persist in their compression even after the desired impact enhancement has been achieved, which is not desired in many cases. That’s why Krossbow was Invented. So you don’t mess up unnecessary aspects of your Dynamics, trying to gain some Punch.
